Rock Jaw Audio Alfa Genus V2 earphones review
I
have already had the pleasure to review a few storage products from
Silicon Power and today Im having the second solid state drive of
theirs on my test bench for a closer look at what it can perform: The
Silicon Power Slim S55 240GB solid state drive.

Silicon Powers Slim series of solid state drives all come with a 7mm thickness, making them... [PCSTATS]

MSI ThunderStorm @ LanOC Reviews
As
much as Beats may have gone a long way to making the idea of having
decent quality headphones cool, not everyone wants bass heavy cans, or
giant over-the-ear sets. Some prefer an in-ear design for their stealth
and ability to stay in place during vigorous activity.

It is to those people that Rock Jaw Audio is looking to market is Alfa Genus V... [PCSTATS]

computer PSU's marketing
While
weve been focusing mostly on MSIs latest offerings in the motherboard
and video card departments theyve stayed busy filling out a fairly
robust peripheral lineup. Many would consider a mouse pad to be the
least exciting of the roster, but Im blessed with just enough
obsessiveness to be concerned with how a mouse pad feels, fits, and
perfo... [PCSTATS]

Two And A Half Geeks 1/18/16: CES 2016
While
this computer PSU's marketing skips right to the green-speak, it is
feature packed in terms of hardware and software, but as always we want
to know what it does when it is under load and serving up the over 1
kilowatt of power that it promises on its label also claiming
exceptional efficiency while it is doing it.

New products at CES 2016 you can actually afford and use
In
this latest episode of HotHardwares Two And A Half Geeks, Dave, Paul
and Marco talk about some of the best technology we saw at CES,
including OLED-equipped notebooks from Lenovo, HP, and Alienware, the
latest VR experiences, Self-Driving Cars, Killer PCs and more...

Kollea Google Cardboard Virtual Reality 3D Glasses DIY Kit Review
You
are probably seeing a lot of CES reviews about drones and autonomous
cars. (Okay...we are guilty or that too). The "game changing" new
products at CES are fun talk about. But we also want to take some time
to show our readers some simple, practical things the common person can
get some benefit out of. Some of the best

Octane Rating Myth
"Up
for review today Ive got a Google Cardboard VR Glasses kit from Kollea
and this is a kit where you have to build it yourself and its fairly
easy, took me about five minutes to do. The glasses work fine, the
lenses are clear and there is a magnetic button on the side to use in
the VR apps. Read on to learn more "

Crucial Ballistix Sport LT White DDR4 Memory Review
The
recent introduction of the RON 100 Euro 4M fuel has ignited yet another
debate over the octane rating and how it affects the performance and
fuel efficiency of our cars. According to the age-old claim, a higher
octane rating delivers better performance and fuel efficiency.

When challenged to prove that claim, supporters of the higher o... [PCSTATS]

er Orichi Mobile Bluetooth and Wired Hybrid Gaming Mouse Review
Memory,
its often the most generic part of your system, along with a PSU. Not
that all system builders would go for any old RAM, but it can be
intangible performance for the cost, especially for DDR4 modules these
days. If you are an Intel fan, and you are planning a system, then you
need to be including DDR4.

G.Skill Ripjaws MX780 RGB Laser Mouse Review
"The
LiteHawk QUATTRO NEON Quadcopter Drone judged as a complete package is
fantastic. From its unique UFO design which protects its propellers,
the body that proved me wrong with how tough it really is, to its
staggering LED lights that are super bright, to the logical color coded
white and red lights and propellers for orientation, to its smoot... [PCSTATS]

Vertagear S-Line SL4000 Review
Right
now, the mini-ITX scene is extremely popular for gamers and
enthusiasts. A combined effort by component manufacturers has seen
greater emphasis being put on innovative mini-ITX cases, short graphics
cards, and more confined cooling solutions. And lets not forget the
system builders deploying small form-factor (SFF) offerings such as
steam ma... [PCSTATS]

Bit Fenix Nova Chassis Review - Your Straight-Forward Chassis
After
our first review of a gaming chair was quite a success, we're going to
have a close look at another model. This particular chair is a little
more expensive than the last one we reviewed, and therefore it should
offer great quality and good comfort.

CoolStream BTS201 Portable Bluetooth Speaker Review
With
all the fancy expensive cases out there, we always have to look at the
full spectrum of chassis. Today we will dip into looking at the budget
chassis brought to us by Bit Fenix, Nova. Coming in under $100 is quite a
feat for a case. In doing so youre always going to be left wishing
there was a little more effort or features put in.

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-4000 8GB memory kit
"Up
for review today Ive got another Bluetooth speaker from a company
called CoolStream, its the BTS201 and its not Bluetooth but it has an
auxiliary input along with USB and an SD card slot. The speaker would be
great for home or office as its rather large, but its still portable.
Sadly the sound isnt that great, and thats not what you want... [PCSTATS]
